About

Mezo is a Bitcoin-centric decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that enables Bitcoin holders to engage in financial activities such as borrowing, lending, and earning yields without relinquishing their BTC holdings. By integrating with tBTC—a decentralized Bitcoin bridge—Mezo transforms Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an active, yield-generating asset within the DeFi ecosystem.

Key Features

Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoin (mUSD)
Mezo introduces mUSD, a stablecoin collateralized by Bitcoin, allowing users to access liquidity without selling their BTC.
Bitcoin-Backed Loans
Users can borrow mUSD against their Bitcoin holdings at low, fixed interest rates—preserving their exposure to potential BTC appreciation.
BTC for Gas
Mezo enables users to pay transaction fees in Bitcoin, delivering a seamless, Bitcoin-native experience across the platform.
Dual Ecosystem Model
Mezo employs the "Cathedral and the Bazaar" model—offering a secure, native DeFi core (the Cathedral) alongside a community-driven application layer (the Bazaar) for innovative projects.
Developer Empowerment
Through the Alpha Builders program, Mezo supports developers building BitcoinFi and SocialFi dApps, encouraging innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
